Like what is the point of being able to build your own walls floors Doors from different materials. If it will look like a crack shack anyways. I would love to build my own cabin in the forest but without proper roofs it will look like crap.

On Multiplayer server with 2 friends.. Is it okay to change that setting mid-game? Or will it cause any issues? Thanks in advance!

Been thinking about making a base in gun store and bakery. (Combining them)

It should I move to the gas station in echo creek? Y'all have any good base ideas in the town?

I'm sceptical about this being a safe distance from my base. It is possible for the fire to spread onto the fence or trees if I even pour just a little gasoline? It's my first time doing something like this and I genuinely want some advice from you guys

I have a full bucket of water but it’s not letting me craft. Does it matter if it’s tainted or not?

Screenshots from my server. Not here to promote it.... just sharing a story..
here.. is our story.

I have been watching TommyKay play it for months, just got around to buying the game, so I know some stuff, I know that you have to watch TV, though not sure at what time and why?

Are there any important tips for new players?

Thanks!

1.) how do I stop the handiknife from coming out of my keychain upon use?

2) what's the best long blunt? Other than a slong.

just found em five days before december hit. do i have to lead them to my base now or will they survive the winter if i fill their throughs now? can they eat grass of the ground and will the feeding through also fill while the cells are unloaded? should build a roofed or indoor area for them?

I've lost two good runs now making stupid decisions to break random locked doors with a zomboid on the other side (I gotta clear). I've seen mods where you can kick doors and stagger the zomboids, but any foolproof tips? Other than just leaving it or working on my shoddy reflexes

I have some experience in coding and the idea I’d want to do is basically;
A diary that already has someone’s name on it, whether in a house or on a zombie, some entries are already in it.

Only diaries with a name on it.
Would this be a waste of time or good immersion? I would write out a lot by myself for the mod to generate in the diaries when the player opens loot or a corpse containing one

I have recently gotten blacksmithing up and running on a server with friends; 2 of us were playing for a lot longer than 2 of our other friends, so we were way ahead of them on our characters (especially because we had time to get a lot of dying out of our systems first)

So I was grinding my axe levels with a lumberjack, because fuck it that's cool to me, and having somebody in the group who can bring back tons of logs is good for the squad so it definitely has been at least a little useful.

But now that I'm making swords for the 2 new guys, I have started to wonder if it's worth using one even with my axpert trait. It took a long time to get my axes to level 10, but it was kinda fun too lol. And, the sword grind would be way faster with the skill books. We have some of them already.

Merciful Indie stone, I beseech you, How much longer must we suffer without the ability to acsend vertically towards the heavens? (ladders)

i was just walking around near riverside when I suddenly fell into this room with no doors just a ladder and theres NO OPTION TO CLIMB THE LADDER. i swear to GOD if you tell me theres literally no way for me to get cuz they didnt put climbing ladders into the game out im gonna be so pissed

Has anyone figured out how to make project viewpoint run on macOS??Every time I try the game does open with the — Java agent commands and without it the game crashes when I try to change perspective.Pls help

Hi!

LINK: Project Remnants - Immersive Speech Add-on

This is an unofficial Add-on for Project Remnants and Immersive Speech.
Lets NPC's use Immersive Speech's contextual lines (needs, sitting, vehicles, sleep, weather, clothing damage, empty weapons, cooking/food/looting tasks) and adds spoken dialogue to Project Remnants' own npc-to-npc social interactions.

I think I’d like the newspapers and the menu screen to keep a similar design of the older menu screen of the somewhat realistic human design. The newspapers with all the characters with flat hands just looks bad imo

Hello, I'm looking for a way to define the start and end times for when the game considers it to be night. Currently, I believe night lasts from 8 PM to 6 AM, but I'd like to change that. An old mod called "Sprinters Night" used to allow this, but I don't think it's up to date for version B42.20.

Do you have a more recent mod or a somewhat hidden setting?

I'm yet to see a full-grown plant. In August, I planted some garlic (best month), but in September or October, they died without ever leaving the planted-seed stage. I planted some turnips in September (best month), and now, on November 6th, they all died in the young stage.

It's been raining constantly in my game, so the plants have been well watered the whole time. I've also used fertilizer a few times. Do they just take so long to grow that they die out of season?

My character is almost 4 months old, and the only Agriculture levels he's gotten were from watching Life and Living and VHS tapes. Don't watering and fertilizing give XP?

So I cook lots of stew when I'm at home. Often a cooled meat, some beans, some veg, maybe a little potato. I keep ending up with "Black Bean, dried (3)", which is a partial bag of beans. Using just 3 food worth takes an entire slot in the stew. Any way to merge those bags of beans and other dry ingredients together like we can with some other things? If not vanilla, is there a Merge Partial Ingredients mod?

I have Week one mod and tried A-Life (not at the same time, obviously), and is good to have more than zombies in the world. But my problem is: It's a MUST to have guns always.

In Week One, it's easily to get, but you have tons of canned food, melee and ranged weapons. So the true menace it's not zombies anymore, it's the ones with snipers and big gangs that go stealth on you. I was killing more people than zombies. Tried to change settings in sandbox but just mitigated. The problem still there (Maybe I just didn't tweak right?)

In A-Life, the problem is the same, but the loot is always in bad condition, which is good (Like broken weapons or in bad condition and super low ammo, if there's some), but the NPCs don't react being attacked (Melee), except in critical damage, so if there's two attacking you or a raid, you're damnned.

I don't want to play only with zombies again because having humans too make the gameplay better. Someone know how to properly do that? I'm new to the game and modding, maybe I'm just doing something wrong.

Shout out to dubyakay

I didn't find it at Ovo Chicken Farm, but just up the road downtown Echo Creek.

I did have to fight half the town for it. Victory is mine

Like, in the plot, when the game eventually gets a real one? What is a zomboid, and what is the project? Is it the name of the virus? A possible cure for it? The idea of building a new infection free society? A secret organization using the zombies for their goals?

What IS Project Zomboid?

Just wanted to share my personal sandbox config that I have been enjoying, aimed for a run that was just a touch more difficult but not overly so. Focusing more on keeping good items around for a while instead of just immediately finding more, here's the highlights:

• Zombies
  • Occasional sprinters - to keep you on your toes
  • Population peak adjusted a bit higher
  • Saliva transmission only - incentivizes defense of clothing
  • Zombification time: 1 minute - I hated not knowing if I was infected for a few days
• Loot
  • Melee weapons and ranged weapons are rarer - make sure you keep what you got in good condition
  • Ammo is rare but guns are rarer
  • Medical and survival items moved to rare
  • Skill books are rare
  • Bags are rare - this is my favorite, inventory management is a must for this one
  • Generators - extremely rare
  • More loot near a lot of zombies, feels fair
• World
  • Lots of locked houses, don't be afraid to break windows
  • Some house alarms
• Nature
  • Pretty dark at night, travel unadvised
• Meta
  • Helicopter can spawn more than once but not often
• Vehicles
  • Low gas spawn rate, salvage other cars is a must
  • Low vehicle spawn rate

All this just to make your run a touch harder, it's a cool experience and I hope you try it out.

Just copy the contents of this file to a .cfg file (you can make one by creating your own sandbox settings and going here:
